Hå is Jæren’s windswept canvas - a municipality where lighthouses stand like granite guardians, beaches stretch for kilometers, and Viking relics share space with modern art. With around 20,000 residents and a landscape shaped by agriculture, sea spray, and sky, Hå is the kind of place where you can walk past WWII bunkers, surf beside sheep pastures, and still catch a concert in a lighthouse. It’s got grit, grace, and a name that once meant “aftergrass.”

Where to Stay in Hå
Getting There
Hå stretches along the Jæren coast, with Varhaug as its administrative center. The Rv44 highway and Sørlandsbanen railway connect to Stavanger and Egersund, and buses run to Nærbø, Ogna, and Vigrestad. The area is best explored by car, bike, or boots - especially if you’re chasing sea foam, sculpture trails, or the hush of wind through stone walls.
